Having grown up with the winding gear for the colliery as my first sight every morning, no objections from me to these turbines on the grounds of aesthetics, noise, etc. However, they are only financially viable because they are subsidised using our money and if it wasn't for the subsidy increasing our energy bills no body would build the things, unhappy on that count. Certainly unlikely that an objection so couched would carry any weight in our local planning system. If they were commercially viable without subsidy I'd have no beef with them whatsoever.
Obviously they are so 'green' that we ship blades for the things from Brazil to Europe.
The Brazilians cleared a lovely bit of jungle just outside Fortaleza in order to build a factory or two for their manufacture, clearly a most appropriate use for the extra money that we all spend on our fuel bills
